• 23rd Nov 2011

The full line up for the Edinburgh Hogmanay Street Party on 31st December.

The UK's top acts bringing in 2012 at the world famous celebrations
include two of the hottest bands of the summer festivals – The Vaccines and Friendly Fires, a special DJ set from the world-renowned Mark Ronson and Celtic superheroes Peatbog Faeries together with Scottish traditional music legends Capercaillie. The ever outrageous Cuban Brothers are joined by
Fringe sell-outs Frisky & Mannish completing the headline acts for the five stages along Princes Street.

This fantastic line-up will be joined by special guests Wild Beasts, Kassidy, X-Factor’s Jade Richards and Radio 1 DJ’s Jaymo & Andy George.

Edinburgh's Hogmanay Street Party is expected to welcome up to 80,000 revellers from Scotland, the UK and around the world and will climax with an ambitious fireworks display, the longest in the 19 years of the event.

Launching from the iconic Edinburgh Castle and from Calton Hill, this spectacular midnight moment (trust me it is spectacular if 2009 was anything to go by) will herald the start of 2012.

The Concert in the Gardens this year features Primal Scream who will be performing their seminal album Screamadelica and a set of their greatest hits, and who will be joined by special guests Bombay Bicycle Club and Sons & Daughters. Tickets for the Enclosure have already sold out, and the
remaining tickets for the Gardens are selling fast.
